Lockyour page
Ask for a password, a PIN or a sign-up before visitors can see your page, or show a sensitive content warning first.
1 min readUpdated
You can keep your page for the people you choose. A lock asks visitors for something before they see anything on it: a password, a PIN, or joining your mailing list.
Lock your page
-
In the editor, open Settings › Profile › Profile access.
-
Choose Lock your page.
-
Pick the kind of lock:
Lock What visitors do Password Enter a password you share. PIN Enter a number PIN you share. Subscribe Join your mailing list to see your page. -
For a password or PIN, type it and choose Save. Subscribe saves straight away.
Visitors see your photo, your name and what the lock asks for. Nothing else on your page is sent to them until they're past it. Once they're in, their browser remembers for a while, so they aren't asked every visit.
People who get in through a Subscribe lock are added to your list on the Audience page.
Change or remove the lock
- New password or PIN: choose Change next to it. Changing it signs out everyone who used the old one, so they'll need the new one.
- Open your page to everyone: choose Lock your page, then Off.
Show a content warning instead
If your page isn't for everyone but doesn't need to be private, switch on Sensitive content warning in the same section. Visitors see a warning first and choose to carry on. Unlike a lock, anyone can get past it.
